Natural enemies

The farewell of Wu Zhanshan's body was as simple as that of Lao Han, except that slightly more people came, mainly his comrades in arms.

Su Yi and Nini also came.It seems that Nini's situation is not very good, her face is so thin that she was slapped, crying and trying to pull Wu Zhanshan out of the coffin, which made a group of big men red-eyed.

The man named Uncle Gong by Wu Peng quietly pulled Su Yi aside, a bit blaming her: "Why did you bring the child? He is still sick, how can he stand crying like this? I heard that there is a match, so now Aren't you going to have an operation? You have to take good care of yourself, so how can you make her cry again?"

Su Yi's eyes were swollen like peaches, and her expression was a little numb: "She misses Old Wu. Besides, she must always see Old Wu. If there is no Old Wu, this child may not be here now. Come and see, it should be of……"

Old Gong sighed.He is in the same company as Wu Zhanshan, Zheng Yuan, and others. Of course he knows the origins of the Wu and Su families, but these years they have been busy and have not communicated too much. He didn't even know how much money he paid, or even Wu Zhanshan's real occupation now, that is, he only asked Nini to persuade him when he saw what Nini was like now, and after hearing Su Yi's answer, he couldn't say anything more.

"Xiao Peng..." Lao Gong was more concerned about Wu Peng.These years, Wu Zhanshan has subsidized him a sum of money every month. Although it is not much, it is not a small amount over the years.Speaking of which, the money should have belonged to the Wu family. Every time Lao Gong saw Wu Peng wearing faded clothes, he felt guilty for a while.Now that Wu Zhanshan is gone and Wu Peng is left alone, Lao Gong feels even more uncomfortable.

Wu Peng seemed to have grown up ten years in a few days, his eyes were still a little red, but his expression was indescribably calm, as if he had made up his mind.While waiting for the staff to push away Wu Zhanshan's body for cremation and to collect the ashes, he gestured to Du Quan and Zheng Yuan and called them aside.

"What is Wu Peng going to do?" Gu Yi also came to the funeral home today. Of course, he put on the special sunscreen that Tang Ji gave him before, and he also wore an umbrella.Now all the demon hunters know his identity, and no one cares, but there are others who will look sideways.But the funeral parlor is a funeral parlor after all, and the people who came here were all in a heavy mood, and didn't have the energy to watch and discuss anything, and it was fine just to take a look, Gu Yi naturally didn't care.

Tang Ji also glanced at it: "Maybe—it's about money."

"Unknown property?" Gu Yi was slightly surprised.Is Wu Peng planning to recover the money Wu Zhanshan gave to the Su family?

"Go and listen?"

"Okay." Tang Ji seemed a little depressed today, so he managed to cheer up and replied.

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Yi glanced at him.After doing some calculations, it seems that since he came out of Andre that day, Tang Ji was a little listless, "Is it uncomfortable?" Could it be that he was injured while fighting against Louis?

"Ah? It's okay." Tang Ji wiped his face, feeling a little worried.

Gu Yi frowned: "Did Louis use any magic that day in the chemical factory area? Poisonous mist? Acid?" Don't you realize that you were tricked at the time?

"What?" Tang Ji was puzzled, "No..."

Gu Yi frowned and looked at him, then stretched out his hand and pulled his hand over: "I'll take the pulse."

"Are you still able to feel the pulse?" Even though the weather had begun to cool down, Gu Yi's icy fingers touched his skin, but Tang Ji felt a little hot on his body, so he had to find a topic for himself.

"I've learned a little bit." Gu Yi said, his brows frowned even tighter, "It's a bit messy. What do you feel uncomfortable? Is your heart hurting?"

"No." Tang Ji touched his chest subconsciously, as if he was jumping a little fast, but of course he couldn't admit it.

"Don't hide it!" Gu Yi sternly said, "It's not okay to avoid medical treatment! If you don't believe in Chinese medicine, then go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination. Or use any method to get rid of the dark power. After all, I haven't seen Louis in decades. , I don’t know if he has mastered any new magic now.” Black magic is sometimes hard to guard against, and it is comparable to the head-down in Southeast Asia and the voodoo in the south.

Tang Ji was annoyed when he heard Louis' name, and snorted: "What do you know about Louis, and you haven't told me until now."

Gu Yi felt helpless.He really didn't want to recall the past, besides, who would talk about his ex-boyfriend with the person he wanted to pursue?Are you sick?

"Let's go and listen to what Wu Peng is saying..." Of course, we still have to talk about the matter with Louis, but we have to think carefully about how to say it, and choose the correct way of describing it.

Tang Ji felt even more unhappy when he heard him change the subject. He grabbed Gu Yi's hand with his wrist and said, "I think you are changing the subject. If you don't want to talk, you can just say it. Anyway, I don't want to torture to extract a confession." .But when you go to the union headquarters, you have to say it, right?"

Gu Yi let him hold him, and nodded as he walked: "You're right, you always have to say it. But—it's a long story, you have to let me think about how to say it?"

"Why, you still plan to say half and keep the other half?" Tang Ji poked him out, "Leniency is allowed for confession, strictness for resistance!" As he said, his finger slipped unconsciously, touching the back of Gu Yi's hand.

Gu Yi's hands are long and slender, with thin calluses on the palms, but the skin on the back of the hands is smooth and flawless. In addition, the skin is tight and slightly cool. It feels like touching a piece of jade, which is very comfortable, but... a bit awkward.

Tang Ji touched it a few times, only feeling a bit of unspeakable regret in his heart, he unconsciously tightened his five fingers, and held Tang Ji's hand in his palm, hoping to raise his temperature a bit, don't always be so cold not human...

Gu Yi's eyes glanced at the hands they were holding, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up, casually saying: "I must be honest, but—look at Wu Peng."

Wu Peng's expression was extremely serious, and when Tang Ji and the two touched him, he happened to hear him say: "...this amount, you can't earn it from the outsourced security work."

It was indeed talking about it.Tang Ji and Gu Yi looked at each other with complicated eyes.Wu Peng, is this going to reveal his father's truth?

Du Quan and Zheng Yuan's expressions showed that their thoughts were probably the same as Tang Ji and Gu Yi's.Du Quan said with some difficulty: "Wu Peng, the president has passed away..."

Wu Peng glanced at him lightly: "Don't worry, I don't want to take back the money I gave to the Su family."

"I didn't mean that!" Du Quan was a little embarrassed and anxious, "Su Yi told you that Nini is not the president's daughter, and they have been just friends all these years. I swear to you! If I had half Lie, let me go out—"

Wu Peng interrupted him: "I believe."

"Do you really believe it?" Du Quan observed his expression, "Don't be angry. The president has indeed been lacking in you these years, but—the president is really, really..."

He was still racking his brains for words, but Wu Peng interrupted him again: "My dad is a good man, I know it."

Du Quan was very afraid that what he said was ironic, but Wu Peng didn't look like him, so Du Quan could only nod along: "Yes. The president is a good man, and I have always admired him..."

This is really true... Du Quan can swear that what he said is absolutely true.Over the years, Wu Zhanshan has not only helped his comrades, but also made money for the Asian branch, trying to report more travel expenses and mission subsidies to the demon hunters.To be honest, Du Quan felt that if it weren't for Wu Zhanshan, it would be hard to say how many demon hunters there would be in the Asia branch.

However, from Wu Peng's point of view, Wu Zhanshan is definitely not a good father, so that Du Quan is obviously telling the truth, but he has a guilty conscience.

Wu Peng nodded, "You're right. So, I don't want him to be a fake hero."

"What do you mean?" Even Zheng Yuan, who had been silent all this time, spoke up.

Wu Peng glanced at the two of them: "I want to know if my dad's money is illegal. If so, I will find a way to pay it back for him. I don't want him to work so hard for so many years. One day in the future, he will be exposed as a violation of law and discipline." .At that time, I am afraid that no one will remember his good things, and will only say bad things about him."

He straightened his lean back: "Pay the debts of the father. Whatever my father has done, I will pay it for him."

Du Quan's eye circles suddenly became hot, and his vision suddenly became blurred. He quickly turned his head and wiped the corners of his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Actually, the president cares about you, that is--you have grown up and have your own ideas. The president doesn't know what to do..." For Nini, it's enough to coax her to play with her and buy her a piece of cake, but Wu Peng is an adult and has his own thoughts, and Wu Zhanshan is not particularly good at communicating. I don't know what posture to use in front of my son, so that the misunderstanding between the father and son went so far that it was not resolved until after Wu Zhanshan's death.

Wu Peng swallowed hard and controlled his voice: "Then tell me, where did the money come from?"

Du Quan sighed: "Part of the money was earned by the outsourced work the president found. This is well-documented, and at most he has found some connections. But it's nothing. Now who has connections and doesn't use it? The other part is - It's a sponsorship fee."

"Sponsorship fee?" Wu Peng looked skeptical, "Who still sponsors this?" Generally, sponsorships have a purpose, either for fame or profit, but what can the Witcher Association give to sponsoring companies?Their work is confidential in nature, even if they want to advertise for the company, it is impossible.

"It's a Russian business group." Du Quan told the truth, "It's the one that held a personal collection exhibition."

"That Morozov?" Wu Peng thought for a while, "How could he sponsor?"

Du Quan is really not very clear about this, so he glanced at Zheng Yuan: "The chairman may have done something for him, after all, there are many foreign companies that want to enter the Chinese market..."

Wu Peng still had doubts on his face: "What does my dad have to do with it?" Wu Zhanshan only has a little connection with the public security system, or because of the work establishment.As for business, he may not have had a wide circle of friends yet.Even the security jobs they usually look for are mostly done by Du Quan, and Wu Zhanshan just works.

Du Quan turned to look at Zheng Yuan.In fact, he had the same question before, but when dealing with the Morozov Group, Wu Zhanshan or Zheng Yuan contacted each other. He only collected sponsorship fees and allocated the money respectively.As for getting connections with Morozov, he did contribute, but only to some minor connections.Based on his own calculations in private, the favors he helped were definitely not worth that much sponsorship fees.

In this case, only Zheng Yuan can answer the question of the sponsorship fee.

Zheng Yuan hesitated for a moment, and coughed dryly: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that the president entrusted someone to do something..."

Before Wu Peng could speak, someone behind him said in a deep voice, "Really?" Turning his head, it was Tang Ji and Gu Yi who came out from nowhere.

Gu Yi stared at Zheng Yuan closely: "Mr. Zheng, what does it have to do with Chairman Wu leaving? How many years have Morozov Group's sponsorship fees been paid?" Andre never mentioned this matter to him. !

Zheng Yuanwei was a little annoyed: "Mr. Gu, is this a matter of our Demon Hunters Association?" You are a foreign species, and you are still suspected of killing demon hunters. What qualifications do you have to question him like this?

Tang Ji coughed dryly: "Old Zheng, this matter is very important."

Zheng Yuan obviously didn't want to answer: "Xiao Tang, I heard that you are going back to the headquarters to report on your work? That's right, you were originally on secondment, so you have to go back." The implication is that since you are not a member of the Asian trade union, don't worry about it. It's over.

Tang Ji frowned, and Wu Peng had already said, "There's nothing to be ashamed of, just talk about it if you have anything to say."

Now it was Zheng Yuan's turn to be in trouble. He glanced at Wu Peng with some displeasure, and said after a while: "This Mr. Morozov is a bit... weird. He collects vampire specimens."

"Vampire specimens?" Even Du Quan didn't expect the truth to be this, "This, what kind of hobby is this? It's not—" He quickly thought of the research institute: "He won't be..."

"No." Zheng Yuan guessed what he was thinking, "I saw it with the president in his herbarium, and it was indeed a specimen, not a live study. Because his ancestors were killed by vampires, So he wanted to kill a few more vampires to avenge his ancestors. It is also because of this that he sponsored us."

"I see..." Du Quan breathed a sigh of relief.It's eccentric enough, but it doesn't hurt to say it.Even to a certain extent, this is equivalent to paying for the killing of pests by oneself, and there is nothing to blame.

But Gu Yi asked: "Then President Wu gave him the specimen?"

This question is on point.Except for some that were destroyed on the spot, all the alien species caught by the demon hunters need to be handed over to the trade union, which is also the basis for receiving subsidies and bonuses.But if it was given to someone else as a specimen, then the trade union must have not registered it?

Zheng Yuan said unwillingly: "I caught two vampires of the twelfth generation, but I reported them and burned them on the spot...the president also did it twice, but I didn't report them..."

"All you gave were killed?"

"Mine is." Zheng Yuan said displeased, "The chairman should be too."

"Should?" Gu Yi asked, "Is it really? And those two are from several generations of blood clan?"

Zheng Yuan was really impatient to answer his question again: "Mr. Gu, what we catch are all alien species that hurt people. If we don't do evil, we won't catch them. So all the ones for Morozov are You deserve it!"

"Mr. Zheng, please answer how many generations are my two blood clans? When they handed over, were they dead or alive?" Gu Yi ignored the provocative meaning in Zheng Yuan's words, and asked directly, "I think you don't want to This matter should be pursued by the headquarters of the Demon Hunters Guild?"

Zheng Yuan glanced at Tang Ji who was standing beside him, his face turned dark.Gu Yi was clearly threatening him, and so was Tang Ji, who stood there to support the blood clan.

"I'm not sure." Zheng Yuan finally replied, "One is the tenth generation. But there is another one that the president took when he set out a mission. It seems that the president said it was the ninth generation, but the specific I haven't seen the situation. As for whether it was dead or alive when I handed it over, I don't even know."

Gu Yi turned and left without saying a word.Tang Ji hurriedly followed him: "What's the matter? That Andre... is there something wrong?" If you say that he feels a little gloating now, but seeing Gu Yi's expression, he doesn't dare to show it.

Gu Yi kept on stepping, pursed his lips tightly, and whispered after a long time: "I hope it's not what I thought..."
